Avengers, Smallville, Iron Man 2: Oct 15th Comic Reel

Director Jon Favreau tells MTV News he will not be directing “The Avengers.” Favreau says, “They’ll have to [find another director], because I’m not going to be available.” He also says the challenge of “The Avengers” is mixing the tech-based world of “Iron Man” with the supernatural elements “Thor” brings to the setting. “How you mix the two of those works very well in the comic books, but it’s going to take a lot of thoughtfulness to make that all work and not blow the reality that we’ve created.”
